The situation that led to 1075 is the following:
A pkg foo is installed from repo A.
A newer version of foo is available in repo B.
In this situation, the "N updates are available" message will show that
an update is available, but the Available Updates tab will not show the
update available. Updatetool won't show the update available either.
If you do a "pkg list", it will show a "u" for package foo. But if you
run "pkg image-update", foo will not be updated.
This is because of the "sticky" behavior of pkg(5). Once a package is
installed from a repo, updates will only come from that repo unless they
are explicitly installed from some other repo.
Essentially, the algorithm for the "N updates are available" message is
like a "pkg list" and the Available Updates tab does a "pkg image-update
-n".
